The purpose of this paper is to optimize rotor shape of interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor for high torque. V-shaped permanent magnet arrangement is applied to obtain more torque than prototype IPM. The performance, based on finite element method, is evaluated as torque per rotor volume (TRV). In this paper, response surface methodology (RSM) is used to search optimal shape of the rotor. The usefulness of RSM in optimal design of IPM motor is verified by comparing TRV between prototype and optimized V-type.

This paper represented driving characteristic of a thin-type ultrasonic motor by fabricating and utilizing two kinds of drivers which could generate sinusoidal wave, square wave, respectively. A thin brass plate was used as a cross shaped vibrator and sixteen ceramic plates were attached on upper and bottom side of the brass plate. From the thin stator, elliptical displacements of the four contact tips were obtained. Speed, torque, and current were measured by applying sinusoidal waves through driving equipment such as function generator, power amplifier: to measure characteristic of the motor. As a result, the speed and the torque changed linearly at either driving frequency of 88.6 ~ 87.6[kHz] or voltage of 24~36[V]. Two-drivers which generate sinusoidal waves and square waves were designed respectively, and then were compared through some experiments in order to be put to practical use. In conclusion, the drivers had similar characteristic of speed-torque at similar frequency and voltage. It was able to control the motor linearly by using the driver generating square wave among two-drivers. Besides, it also was possible to make the drivers smaller.

In this paper, we propose a method for suppressing shaft voltage by modifying the shape of the rotor and the permanent magnets in interior permanent magnet-type-high-voltage motors. Shaft voltage, which is induced by parasitic components and the leakage flux in motor-driven systems, adversely affects their bearings. In order to minimize shaft voltage, we designed a magnet rearrangement and rotor re-structuring of the motor. The shaft voltage suppression effect of the designed model was confirmed experimentally and by comparative finite element analysis.

The 42V Mild Hybrid System has been released into market by Toyota for the first time in the world in 2001. The set-up employs an inverter unit to control the motor/generator (MG) electronically. The driving system called such as Toyota Mild Hybrid System (TMHS) has additional new functions to conventional internal combustion engines. When stopping vehicle, the engine stops promptly. When starting vehicle, by releasing the brake pedal MG starts the vehicle at the same time (EV-driving mode). When stepping on the accelerator pedal, or after a given period of time the engine firing occurs and the engine-driving mode starts. When running by motor, the power is supplied to the motor from 36V battery through the inverter. High outputs and instant responses are required for Inverter. At the same time, the compact volume is required to fit into the limited space of the engine room. The compact size and high output are also required to Power Capacitor used for this inverter. The power capacitors has been newly developed, shaped in "flat" type, suitably for the inverter. The points of developments on inverter and power capacitor are described in this paper.his paper.
